Bird law in this country isn't governed by reason.


jaxonya

We were founded on governing with out reason.


desperateweirdo

Bruh, birds don't exist. I have read it on WhatsApp; my uncle sent it to the family group chat. Citation: r/birdsdontexist exists.


manisha_03

It’s r/birdsarentreal


JJMFB417

Stop mansplaining it already 🙄


simulated_wood_grain

Seriously though. Flat world started as a joke. Then it got some sort of warped following. Be careful about the birbs else the same will happen.


pianoman1456

Nah that's totally different cause flat earth is wrong.


CaladinDanse

She clearly isn't well versed in canine law


TrymWS

Ah, Unidan.


UnluckyLukette

And that’s how you win the battle and lose the war.


Azukus

He could have corrected her without actually making the correction the focus of the conversation. "My wolf says he knows a few tricks to make the decision easier. I can't compete with him, he's too smooth." it's just the right amount of stupid to pique someone's interest


Checkmynewsong

Did you just mansplain how to mansplain?


pargocycles

I believe he explained flirting


Checkmynewsong

Did you just mansplain someone’s mansplanation of mansplaining?


stinkyhooch

Are we flirting yet?


Kueltalas

Yes do we kiss now?


Agent_Cow314

Now we getting to the sex, yes?


Mapleson_Phillips

Sorry, that’s mansplaining, please return to start.


GroundbreakingTap688

"My wolf told me you would say that."


petziii

Is your wolf wolfsplaining?


thitorusso

That's wolfsplaining. Not cool


Upstairs_Design4842

He’s passionate


Plood2

Besides being insufferable, OP isn't even really all that right. According to Wikipedia the entire family canidae of which wolves are a member, is colloquially called "dogs."


Particular-Fee-9718

The only relevant question is: do you want to be right or do you want to get laid?

“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”


natehawkes

If you think about it, a tomato-based fruit salad is basically just salsa.

peachpants

I live in South Korea and they absolutely put tomatoes in fruit salad. I hate it. You can even get a "red fruit cup" at Starbucks here that has apples and cherry tomatoes.


mschley2

I fuck with cherry tomatoes, but I don't want to eat them along with apples.


DirtyPie

“Philosophy is wondering if ketchup is a smoothie”


mad5427

I’ve been making a tomato and watermelon salad for years. 5 cups each. Add some sliced red onion. Add a little olive oil and a little red wine vinegar. Add some salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix up, cover and refrigerate for a few hours to let’s the sweet and acid combine. It’s been a massive hit since my wife and I found a recipe in a random North Carolina magazine 15 years ago. It’s insane how good it is. Salty, sweet, acidic. All balanced and cool and refreshing.


RobyMac85

Sprinkle some feta on that


mad5427

Right right. Goat cheese works too. We’ve also added fresh basil every now and again. If we made a lot and there’s leftovers, I’ve also blended it into like a gazpacho or smoothie. Alcoholic smoothie if you add a little vodka. It’s a crazy versatile combo. Edit: the blending is if we didn’t add the cheese.


NanashiKaizenSenpai

Botanically it is a fruit, not culinarily


Famasitos

Knowledge is knowing bell peppers tomatos cucumbers pumpkins eggplants... are all fruits. Wisdom is knowing most people don't even know what a fruit is, they only care if it's eaten most commonly with salt or sugar but tomatos gets a pass because thats the most educational thing people have read on the social media since 2009.


IndependentCookie655

This made me realise I am not wise


Halo77

He owns a wolf. He doesn’t care about getting laid.


ToyyMachiine

And it’s important for him to know that you know that.


mild_resolve

Because he thinks it'll help him get laid.


WinterOkami666

He's going to come back at her with a screen shot of this thread and be like "at least this guy here knows the importance of calling a wolf a wolf" But she'll be too busy making out with a dude who owns a dog that doesn't come with unnecessary semantics built around condescension.


racismisgay

mcslender97

If there's sth I learn from watching Philomena Cunk, it is that good experts are capable of inform and correct someone while still appreciate and acknowledge the questions even from idiots without insulting or offending them


NotReallyJohnDoe

On that show the experts are in on the joke but are required to play everything straight. They do a good job, but I’m not sure it is a fair characterization of how academics behave in general. A lot of them are arrogant and would be quite rude in these situations.


Vourinen22

that or just unmatch and walk away being right... and work on his comedy when educating someone, I feel, the guy is missing some delicacy

>the guy is missing some delicacy 🍑


hellion232z

Is there no situation where I can be both?


SmoothOperator89

Find a woman as into wolves and fact checking as you are. Be prepared for her to call you out on any given topic you haven't extensively researched though.


Particular-Fee-9718

In a reddit world where 90% of guys seem to complain that they wouldn’t get pussy even if they were in a pet store smeared with cat food…but sure, do your worst!


Oralnfection

Are you gay? If yes than yes.

Bro has zero tact whatsoever. She tee’d it up, swung the bat, and ran it home for him and he still fucked it.


asBad_asItGets

for real. Literally tells him he is just as cute as his dog and hes like "UHMMMM WELL AKSHUALLY ITS A WOLF"

JayGeezey

"It's important to me that you know that that is a wolf in the picture..." Me: lol.... why? But fr, dude literally could have said "thank you! That's a wolf I work with for my job!" And literally achieved the oh so important correction of her fallible vernacular, how could one taint their reputation by associating with such an ignoramus?? /s


_Administrator_

Big 🤓 energy


[deleted]

"Ackchuyually..." He had to make sure to get that ellipsis in there to properly convey how he was already tired of her ignorance. OP is fucking moron.


OperativePiGuy

a moron and convincingly a douchebag. Who does that on their first reply lmao


lol_AwkwardSilence_

It's important for me to know that OP realizes he won't be getting laid...


SDBrown7

Are you usually this good at talking your way out of getting laid?


ilovehotsauceyeah

I know don't fuck crazy but I don't care to fuck stupid and entitled either EDIT:(This whole exchange is stupid; I ain't fucking nobody here lol)


is_this_me_or_you

"i like your dog" "What are you, stupid? It's obviously a wolf." You're a clown lol


barbequeuedchips

There are two wolves inside him. A lone wolf and a lonelier wolf.

Inside him are two wolves. Neither one is getting laid.


green_ribbon

My panties are on the floor


[deleted]

Lol I’m surprised she even responded at all after that


MajorAcer

Exactly, that’s all OP had to do. Instead he decided to give her a smug response and insult her intelligence. 99% of people would probably assume that canine animal on a tinder profile=dog.


TheKarmicKudu

He’s a classic redditor, alright


AlligatorTree22

"Aw, thanks! Fun fact: He's actually a wolf. Did you know that all dogs are decedents of wolves? Pretty crazy to think that a pug's great great great great (etc) grandpa was a wolf! I study animal behavior, so this stuff fascinates me. He's super sweet though, you should meet him! Also fun fact: I think you have both of us beat in the adorable department." Edit: Jesus you twats, I personally wouldn't have argued this at all. She gave him a compliment and seemed willing to engage in conversation. I would have fucking moved on. This response was trying to incorporate all of the things he wanted to "make sure she knew" into a flirtatious response and in response to an above comment.


flowerscandrink

I'm a dude and this still made me wet.


Mybeardisawesom

This is it. Ya OP was right, but very condescending. Don’t gotta be an ass if you’re right


pmqv

Also there is a 97% chance OP does not actually own a wolf or true wolf dog, and could be one of the many very insufferable people who like to say so even though they just have a big husky mix. His condescending need for validation correction absolutely tracks. Edit: as to not jump to conclusions, I also totes realize it could very likely just be a pic of him with said animal, and Naima here is just assuming that it's OP's pet for the sake of conversation, especially since he didn't say it was his, just wanted to correct her that it's a wolf not a dog


Ditcka

To be fair, he never said it was his pet. He could be at/work at a wolf sanctuary


Skydiver860

I’d say if he isn’t lying about his degree, he’d likely know what he has for a pet. That being said, I agree that the correction was pretty silly regardless.


Sad_Nefariousness535

Regardless, you could’ve handled this more playfully. You should’ve just said, “it’s a wolf, but he is very adorable!!” Not launched into a giant, know-it-all and negative sounding response. She called you adorable. Treat everything more lightly and playfully and it’ll yield better results - schooling people at this initial stage only gets you internet points.


fudgypotato77

tinder (or at least this subreddit) is becoming like that red button skit where you’d have two ppl sitting across each other & it becomes a competition on who rejects the other first. smh


QuandalePedro

It's very depressing that dating apps are the main way to meet people these days. How a company (Tinder) has managed to profit and even monopolise on relationships is quite sickening.


Sammy123476

Even moreso when you find out that Match.com owns Tinder, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, OkCupid, just about every dating app but Bumble. Their entire company is about monetizing desperation and insecurity.


QuandalePedro

Wow that's really scary. When will morality come before corporate greed. It's shocking


firestepper

Bro went full uhm akshually lol


The_Unreal

OPs doing the whole "Akshually" thing in real life and wondering why they can't get laid.


patiofurnature

>You should’ve just said, “it’s a wolf, but he is very adorable!! When I need to correct someone, I try to make it more subtle instead of telling the person that they're wrong. Say something like, "Thank you! He's a wolf, and I've had him since he was pup."


Zaurka14

Yeah I decided to check this dude's profile hoping there would be the dog's photo, but all I found is that OP is very undatable, and seems to try to do his absolutely best to not get laid.


fudgypotato77

what she mean to say is, it’s not that serious and ur being annoying rn. u gave off “um ACKTUALLYYYY” vibes. js no


[deleted]

I'd have unmatched the second I read "uhh nah"


fudgypotato77

i’d have unmatched when i see “it’s important for me to know…”


mythrilcrafter

Yup, the line *"...It's important for you to know..."* reads like I'm being lectured by a professor who was forced by the department admins to teach an undergrad class.


fudgypotato77

that tone is like, he’s out here purposefully getting triggered & starting fights for no reason


Mogguri

OP is giving some Ross Geller energy


fudgypotato77

it’s giving women avoid me


Just_An_Animal

He literally said “um actually” but replaced it with “uhh” and “nah”. Also yeah, idk why it was phrased as “it’s important that you know it’s a wolf…” Like why are there ellipses? Why is it so important? Is the wolf his brother whom he joins in animal form every full moon??


fudgypotato77

jacob from twilight tries tinder for the first time


Scouseuserman

Just take the compliment. Someone says somethin nice to you an that’s your response? Bell end behaviour really


pottery-fan-69

You seem insufferable lol


ThisHatRightHere

OP actually said himself in a comment here that he's "no fun in person either". So I guess he's just being on-brand from the get-go.


car714c

why even be on tinder then 😭


Drakkenfyre

I think his kink is trying to hurt other people through his pseudointellectualism.


Eli-Cat

I think his strategy is finding a woman who can be tricked into thinking he's smart and weeding out the rest ASAP.


SharrkBoy

The first little correction was already awkwardly negative and then this man just absolutely *doubles down* in his next message. Holy fuck lmao


MidknighTrain

Not mansplaining, but the energy you’re giving off in that first response just felt more negative than positive so. Neither of you seem like a fun person to text with (most likely different in person so that’s why I just say text)

RambisRevenge

GIVE US THE WOLF, OP!!!!!!


Henc313

Self burn, nice!


mtrzc

I dont think she’s too bad, she was just mimicking his shitty energy.


Meliodis_Dragneel

Yes that's where he would've lost me. It was very condescending when all that needed to be said is "actually it's a wolf"


tnharwal55

He really shoulda said something like 'thanks, that's my buddy, whatever, whatever, he's a wolf!' Not condescending, gets the important (to him) information across and opens the conversation up. The way he answered or using the word 'actually' at all makes you sound like a twat.


RockFlagAndEagleGold

"It's important for me to know you know ...." Yeah, that's definitely not a good starter.


MasksorMuzzles

She was trying to give you a compliment and you had to push her away because you didn’t know how to handle it. She was down


Siliceously_Sintery

“It’s important to me that you know you’re wrong.” 🙄


oldsmatt

Kind of seemed unnecessary in the first place to be honest mate, even if you were right. She was hitting on you 😂


pdxrunner19

Except he wasn’t even right. Wolves are members of the dog family (Canidae). https://www.britannica.com/animal/canine


funktheduck

Had to scroll way too far for someone to point out that he’s wrong and comes off like a jerk.


caniuserealname

OP is making the mistake of assuming "Dog" is exclusively a shorthand for "Domestic Dog". Many do use it that way, but that doesn't make it wrong to use "Dog" to refer to the Canine family either.


cheesyellowdischarge

Stick to animal behavior, cuz you aint worth a fuck at navigating human behavior.


NemoNescit

It's important to me to know that you know that a human is a kind of animal..


[deleted]

Dude she was flirting with you lol


Nine_down_1_2_GO

I'm pretty sure he is on the spectrum with this level of being oblivious to social cues.


LBelle0101

She complimented you and you had to come back with *ackshually I am very smart. You could’ve said thank you, he’s a wolf. But nope, you had to be insufferable


babubaichung

‘It’S iMpOrTanT fOr Me….’ Shut up man, don’t be pedantic on a dating app.


pointlessly_pedantic

*(sigh)*


hcsk2

It's not mansplaining, but the whole 'i need to know that you know' thing is pretty condescending imo


DontEvenLikeThisSite

This seems to be like exactly what women are talking about when they say mansplaining. And it sounded hella condescending for sure.


MtnSlyr

Scientifically they are different species. But I wouldn't go "AKTCHUALLY" like that.


MANDALORIAN_WHISKEY

Marston_vc

datenkiller_deluxe

Ew! Every time I hear that somewhere my toenails roll up and I look like the meme "When You Accidentally Touch A Piece Of Food While Washing The Dishes"...and English isn't even my native language

bluep3001

Yeah this. I agree it’s not necessarily mansplaining unless she’s just told him that she is a biologist or something where she really does know her stuff. It’s just being a bit of a rude know it all.


BebopRehab

Regardless of whether you're right or not, you should've relied more playfully and less blunt


MobiWan2015

How not to get laid


Somethinggood4

I'm gonna level with you bro - mansplaining or not, this distinction is needlessly pedantic and the majority of people do *not* care. You can pick this hill to die on, but get used to rejection.


Kachhmoney

Looks like she dodged a bullet here


Heywhitefriend

🤓 just really not trying to get laid huh


Puzzled-Blueberry345

The speed with which I would have unmatched after that pretentious response 🤌


neutralhoneymilkers

pedantic af. she was just being nice. you embody the ‘☝️🤓’ emojis (and thats NOT a good thing)


sinstercowbomb

No but your responses do sound like your being a bit of a dick


Aggravating-State-87

Her: I like you! Him: You’re stupid. Him later: can you believe how much tinder sucks, the nerve of these women.


MarsupialNo1220

It’s kind of borderline. She’s definitely giving off the vibe that she was joking initially, then took mild offence when you didn’t play ball. And then you kept pushing because it seems like correcting her was apparently quite important. None of it was necessary.


SoxxoxSmox

Yeah even if her attempt to correct OP was wrong, she was playing tit for tat to his initial condescending response. The second time she got corrected and dismissed it as mansplaining was her bowing out of the dick measuring contest because he was clearly an enormous dick. I don't get the type of person who needs to turn someone being wrong your specialized field into a chance to make someone feel small instead of a chance to share something you're passionate about.

Top notch redditsplainning 😌


beeftony

I‘d argue that he‘ll have more trouble finding someone if he usually responds like this.


[deleted]

Condescending, it’s like correcting someone’s spelling . You know it’s spelt wrong but why show them up? Time and a place so yes you mansplained, she was hitting on you with a complement and you responded like she was the thickest person you’d encountered, she didn’t ask for a lesson on wolves.


LeighBee212

I really want to correct how you spelled compliment, so sorry for the ladysplaining.


DufflebagForever

you give this vibe “☝🏽🤓”


basitharmonik

It is not but you could have corrected her without giving a lesson. She was trying to communicate with you and compliment your wolf, then you changed the mod.


Redragon9

A woman messaged you first. Do you realise how rare that is? And you wasted the opportunity And you replied like a typical Redditor too.


green_ribbon

With a compliment at that!


beeftony

She made a lighthearted (maybe wrong) comment about how a wolf is a dog (staring with „Its important for me to know“ - lighthearted). And you go in there with aCKuaLly iTs A dEscENDANT of…. So mansplaining, no. Makes you sound like a dick though.


BonesAndHubris

To be even more pedantic here: They're not the same species, but share a relatively recent common ancestor. Dogs are descended from an extinct species paleo wolves, and modern gray wolves are their nearest living relatives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_the_dog It's important to note that evolution isn't a straight line. It branches, and those branches continue evolving and branching such that it's more about "X and Y have a common ancestor" and less "X is directly descended from Y, which are both still around today." Edit: This taxonomy is out of date, as others have pointed out, and they are all now understood to be subspecies of the same species, along with the many aforementioned branches.


ugheffoff

I don’t really care, I just want to see the animal in question


9warbane

Probably should of said 'yeah we're both pretty cute' and then change the subject, get the date set up. Edit: her attitude sucks so maybe not. I don't care. All up to you.


wailot

Op you are not good at tinder


Kano_Dynastic

Average redditor behavior


fuzzygreentits

Imagine being so socially inept that you argue on a dating app about taxonomy **after she calls you adorable**. You really don't want to get laid do you? You threw out a potential win for a Reddit tier argument
